Change Your Clock Change Your Battery

The Park Ridge Fire Department reminds residents to test and change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors when you change your clock back from Daylight Saving Time, on November 3, 2013.

Families are encouraged to use the extra hour “gained” from the end of daylight saving time to review their home fire safety plans and remind their friends, family and neighbors of the life-saving habit of changing and testing smoke alarm batteries.
